Springer Spaniel Puppy Biting

Our springer (10 Weeks)will frequently bite at us, not viscously, but it still hurts. We give her chew toys and are not having much luck stopping her. any other suggestion?

Biting
by: francesco

i have a wonderful boy called Dexter. he is 12 weeks old and his nick name is Jaws.!!
He bites a lot and we have tried every trick in the book but nothing seems to work.
Yelping, shouting "no", ignoring him..( a bit hard when he jumps up and bites you with his sharp puppy teeth on the thigh, knee or the calf.) We have found that locking him in the empty room for 5 minutes does calm him down. We are not sure if it is the right thing to do but we are waiting for him to lose his puppy teeth so that it doesn't hurt quite so much.
ICECUBES seem to keep him occupied for a bit, probably soothing on the gums and entertainment following it around the floor, he loves it.
If anyone has any other ideas of what to do we would love to hear from you as arms and legs are looking like battle zones!

Biting
by: Michele

As you probably know, puppies lose their teeth just as kids do. And like kids, their gums bother them while teething. Puppies biting is common and it will likely stop as the baby teeth fall out and new teeth come in. You should be sure your puppy knows that biting is not acceptable for any reason. Usually once teething is over that biting will stop, however if it doesn't you could have a mouthing problem. This is when dogs think it's okay to put their mouths on you. Mouthing after a dog matures can definitely be a problem. There is a good article I found about this you might want to read. Try this link: http://www.petplace.com/dogs/nipping-and-mouthing-by-dogs/page1.aspx

It's best to set limits now and be sure the puppy realizes who the pack leader is - YOU!

RE: biting

Our little Nellie is almost 4 months old....I gother when she was 6 weeks ld. Biting was also a problem with her. When she would bite, I would immediately say NO!!! and show my displeasure. It worked, somewhat. What I found out is that it lessened and lessened until she grew out of it. Show your pup your displeasure when she bites, and draw away from her. Then, just be patient....she will eventually stop. Good idea with the chew toys.
